Step through the repeat loop by putting a breakpoint in your handler just
before the first repeat loop. Each time your handler changes an element in your
array, inspect the array to ensure what you expected is what you got. There
really is no other way to be certain you know what is in the array simply by
following the lines of code. Not unless your brain uses fault intolerant
persistent memory, which mine does not.
also, it may be useful to use the form:
repeat for each line theLine in theData
Be careful using this form that you do not alter theData (by my example) as
this will royally hose your results.
Also, it may make it easier to read by putting an empty line before and after
your control structures. It helps me anyway.
on mouseUp
put 1 into tTargetLine
repeat for number of lines in cd fld "itemHold"
get line tTargetLine of cd fld "itemHold"
repeat with y = 1 to the number of items of it
put item y of it into counterArray[item y of it][y]
end repeat
put the keys of counterArray into cd fld "Group2"
-- my error is in here when I begin the subsequent loops i think as the
array continues to add elements
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in cd fld "group2"
put line x of cd fld "group2" into tElement
put 0 into tCounter
repeat for each element thisElement in counterArray[tElement]
put thisElement & return after cd fld "group3"
add 1 to tCounter
end repeat
put "," & tCounter after line X of cd fld "group2"
put "" into cd fld "group3"
end repeat
put return after cd fld "group2"
add 1 to tTargetLine
end repeat
end mouseUp
